A new Sear Bliss album is literally something to trumpet about. That said it appears we missed last album ‘Letters From The Edge’ from 2018 but it’s always a pleasure to catch up with the metaphysical Hungarians. Steadfastly producing nine… Continue Reading →
First thought here was that surely a Cavernous Gateway would make more sense than a Gate but I am probably just splitting hairs. Anyway, this is a project from Helrunar founder Sebastian “S.K.” Körkemeier and follows up the split he… Continue Reading →
They last had us ‘Seeking Infinity’ in 2018 and now Pantheist are taking us ‘Closer To God.’ Don’t worry too much though, divine intervention and visits to church are not necessary. Having said that we did venture into the holy… Continue Reading →
